This report provides the outlook for the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Research and Technology (R&T) program for 1996-2000. It identifies the transportation issues that the FHWA can help resolve; and the R&T products, practices, or services that the FHWA develops and delivers to do so. The R&T Program is funded through FHWA's annual appropriations and authorizations in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), and will continue to develop and implement new technologies that can improve transportation performance at lower overall costs. The report covers the following research areas: highway safety; motor carrier safety; intelligent transportation systems (includes advanced travel management, advanced commercial vehicle systems, rural applications of ITS, system architecture and standards, automted highway system); infrastructure assessment and renewal (includes research and development; pavements and structures; materials to strengthen and enhance performance; construction, repair, and rehabilitation of highway infrastructure; systems management to increase service life; infrastructure to meet the needs of commercial vehicles; long-term pavement performance program; and exploratory research); productivity, planning, and the environment (includes planning research, policy research, environmental research and right-of-way research); and technology transfer (includes technology assessment and deployment, education and training, international programs).
